At the start of this week's LIV Golf Promotions, there were around 90 players hoping to land one of the three wild card spots available in the LIV Golf League this year.

However, for the final 36 holes, that had been whittled down to 22.

Overall, a purse of $1.5m was available at the event, with every player in the field who completed their rounds at any stage of the tournament entitled to some payment.

The player who finished 22nd and at the foot of the reset leaderboard for the final two rounds was Danthai Boonma, who walked away with $17,500.

At the other end of the scale, winner Richard T. Lee earned $200,000, with Bjorn Hellgren, who finished second, taking $150,000 and third-placed Anthony Kim earning $100,000.

Of course, those figures are small compared to what the trio could earn in the LIV Golf season.

Each player is now guaranteed starts in the 13 individual events of the season, which begins in Riyadh on February 4th.

The winners of each event claim $4m, with even the player at the foot of the leaderboard guaranteed prize money of $50,000, meaning even if a player were to finish last in each tournament, he would earn $650,000 over the course of the season.

More realistically, the amount of money they could earn may well extend into the millions. For context, since 2022, the average LIV player has collected just under $4m per season.

Beneath the three who earned LIV Golf cards for the new season, the remainder of the top 10 and ties each banked over $20,000, with those players also securing exemptions to the 2026 International Series on the Asian Tour.

In the International Series, eight of its events offer a $2m prize fund with the final tournament putting up a total of $5m, meaning there is serious money to be earned next season for players who came close, but not close enough to the top three, including Lucas Bjerrgaard and Jeunghun Wang.

For those who failed to make it any further than Thursday's first round, a payout of $5,000 was awarded. Players including former European Ryder Cup star Chris Wood and two-time DP World Tour winner Calum Shinkwin bowed out at that stage.

Players whose challenge ended after round two, including former LIV Golfers Andy Ogletree and Chase Koepka, banked $10,000.

Amateurs were able to claim $1,000 no matter where they finished.
